Red Cross Involvement In Wwii - 526 words
Red Cross Involvement In Wwii Red Cross
Involvement In WWII The Red Cross is a group
organization, which consists mostly of volunteers
that help the needy and the hurt. In the beginning
of World War II, when it was just announced that
we were at war with the Japanese the doors of the
Red Cross opened to thousands of new volunteers
that wanted to help the American soldiers. To ease
the discomfort of civilians being drafted, the Red
Cr0oss decide to turn towards social workers and
recreational specialists. (Comptons Interactive
Encyl.) The Red Cross helped keep Americans calm
during this war but soon, the Cold War Era began
and made it difficult to work with. The American
Red Cross successfull ...

2001 Graduation Speech - 634 words
2001 Graduation Speech Jessica McCoy When I think
about the class of 2001 I'm reminded of a story
that I'm sure we were all told when we were
younger; The Little Engine that Could. The little
engine struggles and struggles to get over that
one hill, and after working hard enough and never
giving up he finally makes it. That's how we are,
we've struggled for 13 years to get over this one
hill. We've worked long years starting with broken
crayons in kindergarten to inside-out sweatshirts
in middle school. 13 years of learning from the
simplest 2+2 to complicated algebra and calculus,
from reciting our ABC's to reading Shakespeare.
But now we've finally made it, and our real
journey is beginnin ...

A Difficult Century Forming Of The World Government - 1,887 words
A Difficult Century - Forming Of The World
Government According to Held, Today, the
mechanisms we have for enforcing international law
depend too much on whether a powerful
geo-political force such as the U.S. is willing to
commit resources to the problem. In such a
situation, a big state will likely do what it
desires, acting in its own interests. Recent
developments in Kosovo, Chechnya, Iran and other
states in some kind of a conflict have just proven
the above statement. Presently the most important
developments in international law and relations
between states are, almost exclusively, dictated
by the Great Powers. The General Assembly of the
UN is probably the only part of UN that repres ...

Aids Whats New Is The Message Getting Through We Already Know Enough About Aids To Prevent Its Spread, But Ignorance, Complac - 1,708 words
AIDS - What's new ? ------------------- Is the
message getting through? We already know enough
about AIDS to prevent its spread, but ignorance,
complacency, fear and bigotry continue to stop
many from taking adequate precautions. We know
enough about how the infection is transmitted to
protect ourselves from it without resorting to
such extremes as mandatory testing, enforced
quarantine or total celibacy. But too few people
are heeding the AIDS message. Perhaps many simply
don't like or want to believe what they hear,
preferring to think that AIDS "can't happen to
them." Experts repeatedly remind us that infective
agents do not discriminate, but can infect any and
everyone. Like other commun ...

Blood - 814 words
Blood There is a crisis. It is the shortage of
blood. We need more blood donors. There's no
substitute for human blood -- vital for delivering
oxygen and nutrients, removing waste, healing and
fighting infection. A person's blood can, however,
be shared with others. Every day, thousands of
Americans in need of lifesaving blood, including
trauma victims and surgery patients, rely on the
efforts of volunteer blood donors. We need a
steady flow of blood donors to keep our blood
supply stable. Many people are eligible to be
donors. The biggest requirement is being healthy.
Approximately 4 million Americans receive donated
blood each year; a demand of nearly 40,000 units
each day. Donating blood ...

by Chinua Achebe, the theme of blindness is

do. His "mental-vision" is seen when he travels to
his ex-employee's house to visit for a couple
days. Robert knows the implications of the
situation he is putting himself in. The husband,
who is the narrator, could be jealous and this
whole trip could turn out adversely for the blind
man. The husband could be nonchalant about
Robert's knowledge of his wife and making the trip
all the worth while. Robert is ...

Cognitive Dissonance - 1,077 words
... earch paper. Either myself and/or my friends
would be active participants in the persuasion
process. The basic premise of the
cognitive-dissonance theory is that when two
pieces of information do not follow each other we
will experience some form of psychological
tension, which we will attempt to reduce in some
way. Often times, according to Leon Festinger,
people attempt to reduce cognitive dissonance
whenever possible (Gleitman, 1983, p.12). I

interested in the topic of quitting their habit,
and some at times took the issue personally. When
people are personally involved with an issue, much
like the use of tobacco, they are much more
